...However, this still doesn't fix the space friction issue. I'd recommend that either: a) Schema adds "Space Anchors" as one person suggested, or b) A space friction-toggling block, which might be easier to implement, was added.

Yeah, I believe that Undo is probably the awesomest feature I've seen implemented, besides possibly the new texture packs and planets.

Yeah, sorry about the rage. I think I'll just go up and overwrite my posts up there... :P

Once again, Cal, sorry about all the raging. It just seemed totally ridiculous at the time.

Never mind guys; Cal messed up the config, he put a 0.1 where there's supposed to be a 1.1; thrust will be a bit better when a patch is released, though the diminished returns will still apply. Smaller ships should work a lot better, and larger ones should... still be slow, but be a bit more...

IIRC, once a ship/other body travels out of loaded sectors it stops. So it's not all that bad.

Whoa, what's that tool?

How about no Space Friction unless you toggle it on with some special block? That way, people can cruise around while walking, and can fly at a set speed.

Yep. Thrust should be logic-toggleable, and the push module trick, which doesn't amount to much more than the starship equivalent of an amusing party trick, doesn't change that.

If we have countermeasures and counter-countermeasures, why not counter-counter-countermeasures? Upgraded versions of countermeasures that are less likely to be effected by counter-countermeasures? ... :P

Yes, but not because the docking ports can't hold bigger things on them without random antennas sticking out of an unrelated part of the station. There's a massive problem with this: there are two ways to get the volume variable for your density calculation; one would encourage idiot cubes...

That would require volume calculations, which apparently have a heavy performance cost.

The difference is that the logic system can't currently be used to make a practical AI, and the BOBBY AI system should cover all 'standard' AI functions, such as autonavigation, auto-redocking, etc. anyway.

...Single people need the ability to protect their inactive ships and stations as well. Otherwise massive ragequits will occur. Not everyone has decided what faction to join, not everyone is ready to join a faction, and not everyone wants to even join a faction.

Yay, first semipractical application since... ever. Besides gravlifts. But shouldn't that be a feature of AI, not logic?

Nah, Schema vaguely said that he eventually wanted to implement (presumably working) furniture of some kind, but he never specified anything.

Fuel for regular travel would be a pain in the ass, but I'm okay with ship-based FTL requiring some kind of valuable crystal that breaks after a certain amount of uses.
